I Got Bombed at Harvey's
In 1980, an ingenious boobie-trapped ticking time bomb – filled with 1,000 pounds of dynamite – was wheeled in the front doors of Harvey’s Wagon Wheel Casino at Stateliness, Nevada, in Lake Tahoe. Along with the bomb was a note demanding $3 million within 24 hours. While the bomb squad attempts to disarm the explosive, the FBI races the clock to deliver the ransom and simultaneously catch the extortionists. Nothing goes as planned, and each step uncovers darker secrets and suspicions of a deeper motive.
This was the largest domestic bombing in U.S. history at the time and one of the most remarkable criminal investigations ever undertaken.
The screening falls on the 46th anniversary of the bombing. Members of the film team will be at the screening for Q&A.
